I'm looking for a great Micro ATX case for my server. Something preferably aluminum, easy access to everything inside, something discreet, quality, and good looking, preferably silver.

I've been debating on these:

The motherboard it will be housing is this:
ASRock 939NF4G-SATA2 Micro ATX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157085
(2)x Seagate 250GB SATA drives
(1)x CD/DVDRW Drive
(1)x Silver fan controller
(1)x Zalman 7000B- AlCu
(1)x AMD64 3200+ Winchester
(1)x Thermaltake 480W PSU

Let me know. I've looked at tons of cases, I'm just having a hard time.
I do want to spend under $100
 
I built a computer for a family member using a case very similar to this one. Exactly the same, save for a very slightly different front bezel. It has a lot of features you don't normally get for a case that cheap--nice drive mounting system, two fans included, front USB/audio, CPU air duct, and it looks pretty nice, even if it's still obviously a computer.

 
Well, not exactly what I was looking for... Thanks for the suggestion. Keep them coming.

(Does this thread really belong in "case modding" since I'm not modding the case... I'm just building in it...
 
Are you looking for a smaller case, since you mentioned microatx? Or are you looking for a larger case?

Ehhh... this is about the 1000th "choose a chase" thread so far this month... so it's nothing out of the ordinary. We ARE the case experts

Although, I might make a trip to Home Depot one of these days to figure out what I could build.
That may not be a bad idea. You can get exactly what you want. Besides, this is the modding forum.. :)

 
I actually am thinking of building a Lego case. Although, right now I'm going through my legos from when I was a kid and seeing if I have enough to actually build a case.
 
Well, I've dug up as many building block lego pieces as I can right now. Probably a bunch more in that bin. It's a 20 gallon rubbermade container filled with legos. I'll probably create a new thread in the worklog to show the step by steps of this.

Or I may just end up ordering pieces to build this as I am not sure I have enough of any single color set.
